My two fav female artist one from the mainstream pop world, Demi Lovato and the other from the conscious crew, Kellee Maize have both come out with videos recently about light! Yes there is light at the end of the tunnel! Both sides of the music spectrum are getting it. They have seen the light and are daning in it! Metaphorically and litterally. In their videos they both dance in the neon light. Kellee Maize with her video "Dancing with Lightning." And Demi's "Neon Lights," both artists have neon highlights either in body paint as in Kellee's video or neon lipstick and nail polish, as in Demi's. All brightened with the black light which pops bright and white colors. See for yourself and let me know which on you like most.

I like how Demi has showcased a song and video within the mainstream that isn't scandalous and sounds amazing! It's a great dance track that has lyrics I wouldn't mind repeating. It's not blatant negative programing or over sexualized. Go Demi! that's a hard thing to do and get away with in the mainstream. Demi is not like her counter parts such as Miley Syrus. She has some how been able to successfully sing on carrying positive messages throughout. This video shows a matchure Demi that has grown from a child star to respectable female pop star. I like her progression into this awesome dance sound in a lyrically clean way. And notice she didn't have to dress skimpy or do crude acts to get there. She's just herself. I love the line "you're all i see in all these places, you're all i see in all these faces, so lets pretend we're running out of time." Make the most of your time and follow your heart is the message I interpret. "Baby when they look up at the sky. We'll be shoot stars passing by. You'll be coming home with me tonight" is just sensual enough not to be over the top. "Be still my heart, cuz it's freaking out." This are super relatable lyrics and emotions most people can identify with. Mixed with a great dance track and Demi has herself a hit.

As for Miss Kellee Maize. Female rapper google superstar. She's representing the conscious crew having LED hula hoopers in the video. Peace signs, hearts, buterflies, diamonds and tribal art are drawn on bodies with the neon paint. It has a nice low beat without being dub step. The chorus is cool saying that they like to do things that are exciting that might scare others. In a sense that is the conscious path. It's scary to face the forces of mother nature, a.k.a life; light. As when there is light it expose the darkness much more clearly and quickly. She is danincing with lightning. She has her own control over this force, she has over come the natural fears. "Let's frequency match" my fav line. If you are frequency matching with this drop a line in the comments and tell me how. Are you liking this conscious music blog? And which video was your fav? Would love to hear from you. Blessings and Beets/ Beats.

Dear Hollywood, The Lights are Calling!

Anthem Lights that is. The band is calling you out! The four man singing group is asking for Hollywood to be more in the light! I mean come on, Los Angeles, it's the City of Angels yet produces so many vampire shows and horror movies. Its where artists go to make their dreams come true yet so many are crushed. They continue waiting tables for a living instead of having their passion profit. It's a big sprawling city with many neon lights, it doesn't get too dark. Yet the dark side is always shown on the silver screens. Unnecessary vulgarity, violence and negativity shows up in the movies, music, and celebrity puffing that Hollywood produces. It's rare to find a direct positive message or movement coming out of the content produced there. Yet that's not as rare when you listen to music from bands like Anthem Lights on stations such as Air 1; the positive alternative. You have to know where to look for that. Hence why I have created this site, Conscious Content, for you to find content that is uplifting. In college I had the amazing opportunity to attend a sustainability projects class. My teacher continually told us how we as California students have an edge of influence on the world as they look here for what's cool and what on trend. If the trend that we set is one of caring for the environment and all things related, we would have a huge influence, especially when put in the media. Because as the song says "Dear Hollywood, there's so much good that you could do. With so many eyes watching you."

One of the most powerful lines in the song, "Broken hearted but pretending that you're alright. Lived out every dream but something's missing." I've followed this band for some time as a fan. They create amazing vocal harmonies in their covers of popular songs. Covering mostly in unique acapella and mash up versions. As I fan I had to comment right away.

I posted the following on their youtube lyric video "I've been waiting for this!! Awe it makes me cry. The lyrics are so powerful and on point! Way to go guys! I hope this gets lots of views and in the news!" And notice the angel number in the length of this video, 4:44. The meaning behind 444 according to Doreen Virtue's book "Angel Numbers" is "444 — Thousands of angels surround you at this moment, loving and supporting you. You have a very strong and clear connection with the angelic realm, and are an Earth angel yourself. You have nothing to fear—all is well." The angels support this message and this band! And you should to. Share the message! Spread it! Re-create Hollywood. We can do it. And we can start with youtube, public access and creating you own content. At least on social media we can control what is presented and posted :) In light and Love - Melissa Laine.
